Ready
You match the role on the things that usually decide first-pass screening. Apply now, lead with the story already in your profile, and use Forge if you want a tailored version.
Almost
You are close. The narrative will name the missing pieces. Often this means a single technical proof, a portfolio link, or a sharper bullet on an existing experience.
Gap
You are further away. The narrative names why and gives you something to act on, like a Skills chapter, a project to consider, or a different field that fits better.
Why three labels
Two would feel like binary judgment. Five would dilute meaning. Three is enough to triage a feed without reducing you to a score.
